  JOHN GROAT, general farmer and dairyman, and during the past nine years clerk of the school board of Freedom township, is the owner of a fine farming property. His father, Louis Groat, was born in Prussia, Germany, and came to the United States in 1874 with his wife, Mary (Jaacks) Groat, and his four children: Lena; William, now a resident of North Dakota; Anne, and John. On landing in America, Louis Groat at once brought his family to Outagamie county, and for two years lived in Greenville township, at the end of that time removing to Osborn towniship, where he bought farming land and lived thereon until his death in 1896, his wife having passed away during the previous year. John Groat was born in Germany, July 25, 1866, began his education in his native country and completed it in the district schools in the vicinity of his father's farms. With the exception of five years when he was engaged in doing carpenter work throughout this part of Outagamie county, he always worked on the home farm as a boy and youth, and at the age of twenty-two years he purchased his present property, known as the old Wiese farm. At the time he bought this land there had been but few improvements made, but Mr. Groat has brought the land up to a high state of cultivation, erected a comfortable home, large barn and substantial outbuildings, and made his property one of the finest of its size in the township. He farms along scientific lines and engages extensively in dairying, his product finding a ready sale in the markets adjacent. In 1888 Mr. Groat was married to Miss Emma Wiese, who was born on Mr. Groat's present farm, daughter of Frederick Wiese, a native of Germany. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Groat, namely: Mabel, Clemence, Walter, Julia, Roland and Harry. Mr. Groat is at present serving in the capacity of school clerk of Freedom township, and that he makes a very satisfactory official is evidenced by the fact that he has held the office for nine consecutive years. With his wife and family he attends the Moravian church of Freedom township, and has been prominent in church and charitable movements.
